Maccabi Bowl Recipes

Steps:

• Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. Transfer to a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot® multi-cooker. Add the chickpeas, garlic, 1 1/2 cups warm water, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of pepper, making sure the quinoa is fully submerged. Place the frozen spinach on top (it's fine if the spinach is not completely submerged).
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 1 minute (see Cook's Note). After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 5 minutes, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete (this should take an additional 30 seconds). Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
• While the quinoa is cooking, stir together the yogurt, shredded cucumbers, lemon juice, dill, mint, olive oil, a good pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside until ready to serve.
• Stir the quinoa mixture until the chickpeas and spinach are evenly distributed throughout. Divide among 4 dinner bowls, top with the grape tomatoes and feta, drizzle with some tzatziki and serve with the lemon wedges.
